European countries are typically based off of kingdoms and alliances from the last thousand years. a lot of the big countries around the rest of the world are put together by agreements and colonies that were just joined together. The middle East would have a whole lot smaller ones if it wasn’t for the Ottoman empire breaking up and the British empire drawing lines where it was politically expedient.
